Hey everyone! I've owned my 94 RT/10 for about a month now. I have loved every min of it! I'm a huge car nutt!! I started off on the import side with my FWD 3000GT that I turned into a twin turbo FWD. Lost a lot of money and time in that car but I learned how to work on cars b/c of it so it was worth it. Then I bought my first vette which was a low miles C5. I thought it was fast and would alway own a vette! Sold it then bought a newer C5 with lower miles. Again, thought it was fast and that I would always own a vette. :nono: I bought it a great price so I only kept it for a few months then sold it and made some money off of it. Never really thought about owning a Viper until I did some research on them and saw one pass me on the HWY. After seeing it I had to have one! Two months after selling my vette I found this Viper. I have never driven a car that makes me smile everytime when I sit in the drivers seat! And don't get me started on the looks I get! haha There is no going back now, I will always have a Viper sitting in my garage!! :headbang:

Looking forward in learning and meeting the Viper family!! :2tu:

Jon

Nice pics:2tu:. I'm sure we can all relate to your excitement. Just wait until you're cruisin' thru the mtns with about 15 of us and then pull in to a gas station and see what happens. Think you're smilin' now? Just wait!:headbang: :stick::stick::stick:

Welcome to the Viper world....you sure look young in that picture. I think I'll mosey out to the garage and look at my car. I'd be thinking about driving it if there wasn't 3 feet of snow on the ground..

Thanks guys! There's a curvy road that connects TN to Boone NC named 321. It’s not as good as Deals Gap (The Dragon) in TN but it’s pretty close. Many many curves! Even though it was not that warm out yesterday I took the Viper for a few runs with the top and windows out. 50 degrees gets pretty cold when running in the mountains of NC! But it was soooo worth it!

And yes, I am young. I’m only 25 years old and no, I did not get the money from my parents. I was brought up learning how to manage money, make good investments, and work hard at everything that I do. So. . . now I own a Viper!! Haha The good Lord has been good to me. Give him the glory!

Very nice and welcome to the club.

Psalm 20:7; "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God."

If the Bible were written today it would be "Some trust in the horsepower of Dodge Vipers; but we will remember You still rule."

I've got the exact same car. Get some gen2 18" wheels, and you will truly have a gorgeous ride. Congrats.

I guess I'm the one to have to rain on your love-in. Like the club warned me a couple years back:

1. Don't let anybody drive your car no matter what. They'll floor in a turn. You've been warned. 'Lending to best friend' stories with vipers totalled are so common, read and you'll see.
2. Check the thread on how old your tires (PS1's) might be....if they're more than four years...you will trash the car soon.
3. Warm up the tires (drive at least 10 mins) before driving hard, and don't push it in low temperatures like in the pics you sent.
4. Look for good pavement...fresh and smooth...before having fun.

Don't let these words haunt you after the fact. It's not because your young, I'm young too. The stats on new owners and trashing their vipers in the first year is seriously high. With no computer traction or slip controls for a beast that wasn't really made for the street, it's easy to wipe it out.
:2tu:

PS- pm me for some basic upgrades you'd want to consider...even if you want it 'stock'.
